Day 4: A Little Bit Of Magic & Sorrow

I don't know if I can OD but the relief I now feel for the full 20-30 minutes seems worth the risk.I didn't sleep at all last night. The entire left side of my face...

It came out well though.I did my first radio interview today and they TRASHED me saying that it seems like I just gave up on life and I'm not doing anything inspirational. I didn't get...

Your Son Is NOT the MAN of the House
Brenda M. HookStaff Writer I have heard it many times. We all have. Some have said it to my son and I quickly, in front of all present, contradict the statement with barely an explanation. No, my son is not the ‘man of the house.’ He is a child. I don’t understand what would make any logically thinking adult try to put the burden and responsibility of a grown man onto a child. As cute as it may seem, it’s not. We need to keep children in their place and out of adult decisions and situations....

Why Are You Still Single?
Dear Readers,I have asked myself this question countless times?

Sometimes I think I'd like to have a partner but I realize that this desire was born out of frustration...

Countdown: 1 Day: Moving Out
"We're making a movie," I told my sons, just to ease the pressure. "You guys are actors, just pretend this is real and let your real emotions show."They did a great job helping me to wrap things up.

Kinda like a fool.So far no one has agreed to partner with me as far as shelters go. Everyone looks at...
